    Great brake kit for the street and some spirited and short autocross but the caliper still has piston booths although they are better than your average car booth because at least they are silicone. Unfortunately they don't stand a chance for a road course, for that you will need straight precision cut pistons made of high temp alloy. When I say precision cut piston what I mean exactly with this is that the whole(bore) in the caliper is so precise that the piston fits perfectly without getting dust inside and for that you are talking forged calipers. I recommend either AP racing, wildwood or stoptech trophy model, all 3 brands have no piston booths. I personally had stop tech and Brembo GT, not to be EVER confused with the lower tier Brembo sports that MOST factory cars use. Just to summarize, these brake kit is beyond excellent for most people, that is all you will ever need to street, spirited driving and small auto cross but neither the stockfish brake pads nor the booths will stand a chance. The paint will also turn brown because this calipers are simply aluminum and nor forged. Thanks for the video by the way.

    Wow! I can't believe you use Hyundai Genesis Brembo Big Brake Kit to fit your FB6! I remember TL Type S Big Brake Kit can fit to FB6. Then, you are the first show about Hyundai Genesis! Good work!!
  • The YouTube algorithm failed me. Just last week I put brand new EBC rotors and EBC brake pads for my stock caliper setup. For just a little more I could've done this?! Ugh, thanks for the great video. I am gonna be thinking about this forever now!🤣
  • Thanks for the video dude, I bought the setup sometime last year and recently coated them.. ill be installing them soon, glad to know it'll actually work lol
  • @Ktwenty4
    Exactly what I needed to see 😁
  • @mannyplus6536
    What sizes of wheel I need? What’s the offset and dimensions of yours? Would it fit a 17x7.5 ET50?

    Hi.I have a 2015 Civic SI.If I upgrade the brake master cylinder to a acura TL types S one I have to change the brake booster because the bolt pattern change. The TL brake master cylinder will not fit 9th gen civic brake booster. What brake booster should fit on the 9th gen civic?

    I have everything ready to do the conversion on my 10th gen accord!

    Hey man, i really loved the look of your old grill and was wondering where i could get my own. its 8th gen style and i really like that. Love your build btw
  • How much clearance is need for the whole brake kit ?? Just wanna know if i need spacers for my wheels , i have 18"× 8.5" 35+
  • @HIFONICSM3
    You didn't use the centering ring that came with FFC kit ? How big is the hub on the civic ? I know the 68mm center bor of the rouge rotors are too big so I need that center ring for my 06 TSX.
  • Would a 25mm hubcentric wheel spacer be too aggressive? Looking to work with what parts I have laying around
  • @Sam.powers787
    I’m looking for the rotors that you mentioned, and I cannot find anything about a Nissan rogue that has a 3rd row

    Great build, color combo very classic Honda racing! I have a question as I'm stuck undecided as to which to choose from situation. I have RL calipers with brackets setup to go on my 7g Accord coupe but seeing this makes me curious about the Brembo options. Was there a big performance difference in your experience (between RL vs Brembo Genesis)? And what was reason for changing? Pad choices? Thanks in advance
  • @mendezgarage6487
    What wheel size and offset do you have, I got the rl calipers but won't fit my stock wheels
  • @EpicFatMann
    I was one of the first to do this swap, works great, especially when it’s all direct fit
  • @han027
    Hey bro nice video, I was wondering ifthat would work in 2018 crv awd?
  • @KyleWithAWhy
    Awesome video man! Think I’m gonna go with this setup as well! By chance, do you think they’d fit with stock 2012si wheels?
  • @jngtruong
    Nice video. I appreciate the details. Did you have to replace your master cylinder or brake booster?
